Hey guys,
I hope TL is okay with using this blog as a means to organize the ATC LR-Threads.
What is required for an ATC LR-Thread?
First: Thanks for your interest in doing them, your help is very appreciated! You don't have to be super completionist or super quick-to-update ATC like in the WCS LR-Threads. ATC is a relaxed tournament, so don't worry if you make your first LR-Thread.
How to make an ATC opening post?
There are three ways:
+ Show Spoiler [Take lichter's premade OPs] +Thankfully, lichter has provided premade original posts (OPs) that can be copied over to make your own thread. The OPs can be found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=339146Search for the OP in the last pages of the thread. You just need to quote the post linked under "upcoming clanwars", copy* the contents and post it under the Starcraft 2 Tournament forum. * Not directly copy & paste. You need to chance this while copying: 1) Remove the quote-tag from the beginning and the end 2) Use the big bold red text as the thread title instead of copying it over 3) Add or remove streams as applicable
+ Show Spoiler [Use the ATC LR-Tool] +
+ Show Spoiler [Make your own custom OP] +What should be thereBasically, you can just use the format that I use. For this, just look for one of my threads ( example), quote the OP and copy the code over to your thread. You should update the results after each game. The results should be put in spoilers. The title should be: [ATC] <Team A> vs <Team B>, Week <w>, Season 2 <Team A> = Short name of the left team (short = mouz instead of mousesports, Acer instead of Team Acer, etc.) <Team B> = Short name of the right team <w> = Playday or Week Team logoshttp://imgur.com/a/c4Fl1There are two big logos for the teams: One for when they appear on the left side and one for when they appear are on the right side. That is required on the TL board to get the spacing right. What does not need to be thereRecommended Games Polls. The turnout is very low during normal games. If you have the feeling that a lot of people are in the thread, you can do them.
The Second Post in Your Thread
You should make a reply instantaneously after creating your thread. Then, edit in two polls "Head: Who do you think will win?" and "Heart: Who do you want to win?" with both teams as an option.
Upcoming clanwars:
- 2013-10-08 15:00 CEST, Invictus vs Liquid, Week 5
- 2013-10-09 16:00 CEST, Empire vs Axiom, Week 5
If you want to do a LR-Thread of any of the upcoming clanwars, just reply here.

I can do tomorrow Quantic vs. Millenium.
Edit: I finished the OP for that btw
|
Do I need to update the score immediately? I tend to be at work, so I cannot even follow the stream (the whole time), let alone update the op as soon as a game finishes. But making an LR thread and updating it at the very end is just <2 min of work (though I will try to update the score in between if possible).
|
I think it's expected (by TL admins and some of the users) in TL LR-Threads to update the score during the matches.

If I have time during afternoon/night I will do it everytime.
|
If there will be an Clanwar starting at 19:00 CET or later, i would be able to post and update the Thread. If lichter premades them, it would be even better.^^
but at 15:00, at work, i cant even post here, so yeah..
btw, a big round of applause for what u have done in the first season, SinCitta!

Maybe I should make a blog like this for WCS AM >.>

Okay, guess we have gathered (awesome and good looking) people already, but of course more are still welcome! 
Tidus Mino has informed me that there will be Western Wolves vs Complexity going on tomorrow 17:00 CEST. Anybody interested doing an LR for this? Will publish the logos for the new teams soon-ish.
NovaMB, will you do the OP yourself or do you prefer a premade one? In case of the former, you can post it already. Or you could also do a combined thread if you want to do WW vs coL as well. Not sure if the people prefer a combined thread or split ones, but I guess either way is fine.
Btw, it would be a good idea if you subscribed to this thread.

Well I made the Mill vs. Quantic one myself, I already put together a small "knowledge base" for myself with team logos (from liquipedia) and got the TLPD map links. Having a premade OP would certainly help I feel.
I'll add coL vs. WW to the Mill vs. Quantic OP and make a combined thread. (I'd do that tomorrow morning, I'm not on my work PC anymore)
If you guys want I'll make a seperate Western Wolves vs. Complexity OP, I think it'll be easier to update and easier to spot/maintain

Give me the sched of games a week in advance (as well as whatever resource links you have) and I can premake them. One or two or three more won't hurt lol

I like to premake OPs a week in advance because I'm not sure if I'll suddenly be busy with work or need to go on a business trip.
Also I get annoyed when the OPs are arranged by date >.>
I could still do it though I guess

we got all games for each week, but we usually know about a match date 2 or 3 days in advance at best

Matchdate can be edited in easily. But we don't know the mappool (or rather order of the maps) in advance.

we have week 1 and week 2

Yeah, they updated the site: http://acer.taketv.net/news/standings-13-03-13-17943
We have all weeks! So premaking OPs should be no problem now.
But I think we should not make the hype text (below the clan logos) more than one week before the match.
Oh and the timing of the LR thread should be about 24-20 hours before the match, so a) people are reminded of it and b) Americans can vote in the Head/Heart polls, too. What do you guys think?
